Carnival has already indicated they would sail in Oct if the opportunity arises, which would go against the CLIA recommendation (though I suspect CLIA would walk it back to align). I'm not sure whether the CDC is going to do any extensions to the No Sail Order - I almost feel like they have gotten disinterested in dealing with the issue, and they will just let it expire.

brenderlou Posted September 2, 2020 #62 Share Posted September 2, 2020 I thought all cruises were cancelled until at least October 31st? I wouldn't consider November "very soon". Also, you're delusional if you think any cruises are leaving from the US in 2020.CDC no sail order is until Sept.31. Cruise lines voluntarily cancelled thru October 31. They could sail as of October 1 if CDC doesn’t extend no sail order.Sent from my iPhone using Forums 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The ships will take at least 4 weeks to crew back up, get ships back to US ports if not longer. And they won't know if CDC IS going to drop No Sail until mid to late September. November at best! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your opinion ONLY! Certainly not ours. My wife and I are both in our mid 70s and in excellent health. We would take a cruise today if it was available. We kept rebooking month after month since our cancellations started. Cancellation after cancellation. So now we gave up. Our next cruise is Jan 9 2021. 7 cancelled cruises for this year. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

arby70 Posted September 2, 2020 #72 Share Posted September 2, 2020 We can all suppose and hope that cruising takes the path we wish it would take. A lot of people of all ages and risk factors will choose to cruise as soon as it opens up. I am in a quandary about cruising in the immediate future. I have seen where young athletic men die from it and a story of a 104 year old woman survived it, so who really knows. Many who survive it may have long term problems. I have a cruise with 2 friends at the end of this February, and plan to see what happens by the end of November. If Carnival hasn't cancelled by then, we will most likely cancel or move it to 2022. All we can do is wait as I don't believe even the "white hats" know. They are trying to keep everyone 's cruising hopes up, and one day it will actually start up again.
